More and more operations are being carried out on an outpatient basis. This means that you don’t stay in hospital overnight. With a hernia, kidney stones or meniscus surgery, for example, you’re quickly left to fend for yourself. With the Hospital Day Comfort supplementary insurance plan, you benefit from a private standard of hospital care for outpatient procedures with great value for money.
In contrast to inpatient procedures, an outpatient procedure allows you to leave hospital the same day. This is because more and more operations are so standardised and safe that an overnight stay in hospital is no longer necessary. But also because the government and cantons publish lists of operations that are to be performed as standard as outpatient procedures. Here are a few examples: meniscus surgery, hernias, kidney stones, tonsillectomy.
